On Wednesday, our class went to the Dunedin Public Art Gallery to work with John. We began by going for a short tour of the gallery and looking at artwork which featured the ocean. we then watched some short videos including "Little Toot" which everyone enjoyed.
Next, we went into the education room where we were given a small bit of paper and a BIG bit of paper. We got a chose a picture of a sea creature which we had to draw and then colour with dye. We went to one of the parents and they dried them. Then we cut them out and we ruled a stage on the BIG bit of paper. Then we dyed the stage. We went to a tray and chose 5 pictures which were the art work for our gallery. We stuck them on our BIG piece of paper and drew a frame around the picture and used pastel to colour the frame. We then dyed the background.
Finally chose another picture of a animal or person that had their back to us. John used the hot glue gun and glued stuff to the back of our dyed sea creature and the animal (or person) and glued them to our big piece of paper. WE HAD A FUN TIME !!!
